Judah Hutchinson

Judah Hutchinson (1868-1911) was an American gunslinger and gambler from Mansfield, Texas.

Biography
Hutchinson was born in Mansfield, Texas, and at a young age gained a reputation for his gambling skills. He moved to New Orleans to pursue money and good poker games, and he proved to be a good thief when it came to game money. However, he also had the skills he needed to defend his money; he was a gunslinger and a reputed man.

In 1911, while in Thieves' Landing near the Mexican border, Hutchinson encountered a Springfield Rifle-wielding gunslinger named John Marston, who recently bought a place to live in the town. Hutchinson talked with his fellow gambler William Iverson, but Marston threatened Hutchinson with his rifle, hoping to rob him. Hutchinson drew a pistol, so Marston put his gun down. Hutchinson returned to conversation, and when Marston aimed at another man (who had drawn his gun at Marston in defense of Hutchinson), Marston shot the man. Hutchinson tried to run away, believing Marston to be a government agent, but was shot in the back and killed.
